    So ya tore off most of the cars skins, and installed new ones to do a fastback conversion. This by itself, is an extremely cool idea, but, why didn't you at least sandblast and repaint the remaining metal while it was exposed???

    • @mycowboyways915
      @mycowboyways915 3 роки тому +11

      Because this car will never see the road. The starter non fastback was a rust bucket from head to toe. You would be better off to start with a more expensive rust free mustang because you will spend the money trying to resurrect that rust one and still have a rusty one.

    I am 78-year-old Vietnam veteran that loves restoring the old Mustangs. I had the front fenders Vin numbers i removed from a 65 Mustang convertible that was rusted away. I got the title for the car too. With the vin numbers I built a brand new 65 convertible with vin numbers and title. I have a true 65 fastback body at the present time that will be up for sale this spring or summer 2022. Last but not least. Changing a coupe to fastback is trick but the car remains a coupe with vin and title. Under the front cowl below the windshield that is an aera that is rusted bad right now, I guaranteed. Not to correct it would be like putting perfume on a pig.

    Some designer at ford made a clay model of a Mustang in 1963 or 1964 everybody who saw it thought it was amazing. Some guys thought it looked better than the Pinin Farina concepts they saw on display at the Detroit Motor Show. However the accountants thought that people who were about to buy a Falcon or a Fairlane would buy this instead. At this time Chrysler and GM were selling something called a "compact" or a "mid sized car". Ford thought that they only needed 2 cars to compete with those, so they did not need a 3rd car in that price range. Lee Iacocca believed that anybody who saw a mustang and it's price sticker would want one. Ford sold every one they could make, before their competitors created 5 other "pony cars".

    well they welded to a lot of rust... seems like they just wanted to get it done.. if you are removing panels at spot welds the best tool is a small belt sander with 36grit .... also look into a tool called a vacuum sand blaster they are a sandblaster and shop vac in one.. the tip of the blaster is in the center of the shop vac nozzle so when you blast all the dust is collected.. it is good for cleaning up parts you're going to weld to .. then you can paint them so you aren't trapping rust inside voids you can't get to after you weld

    When Ford designed the 1967 (2nd generation) Mustang. There must have been a team of engineers sitting around a conference table. Somebody thought the rear seat and trunk were obviously too small. Henry Ford II said most men want a car that looks sporty, but they also want the car to have enough room for their wife and kids and all their luggage. Then someone else said the 289 V8 was adequate, (for a Falcon GT) but some guys would pay a lot more for an optional 351 V8. They only had to make the engine compartment a little bit larger.

      You have to see some restorations from the U.K. . Even new cars have rust here

      Probably because its a sponsored video paid for by Year One and wanted to demonstrate how easy it actually is to convert a Coupe to a Fastback as long as you know how to use the proper tools. The additional details needed to do a proper build is outside the scope of the project and thus, wasn't filmed. Remember, this is made for a TV format where each episode of the project has to be around 20minutes long.
      If you actually wanted to learn how to do projects like this, then you best enroll into a body shop or collision class near you.
      Or.... you could just buy a brand new Dynacorn chassis for about $15-20k and not worry about converting a coupe into a fastback, just buy a brand new fastback chassis - then you can build the car of your dreams without having to worry about cleaning up any rust or worry about the chassis being tweaked

  • @WilliamSnider-u2i
    @WilliamSnider-u2i Рік тому

    I feel like this is a mixed bag. On one hand you need a decent donor car that is anywhere between 5-8k, then you need all the sheet metal to convert it to fastback which is probably 3-4k. Then the labor, free if you do it yourself. You spend 8-12k. On the low side it seems like a good deal, but on the high side that is only a couple thousand less than a dynacorn with all new metal. Seems cool, just can get expensive really fast.
